60-feet long solar-electric catamaran with 800-mile-range sets sail

Revolution Marine Group, a Florida-based company, has unveiled its latest 60-foot solar-electric catamaran, the Oceanwalker S60e, targeting the growing market for eco-friendly yachts. This model features a sleek dual-hull design powered by twin 150 kW (200 hp) electric motors and supported by a 10 kW solar array that powers onboard amenities such as air-conditioning and electric cooking. While the exact electric-only range is undisclosed, the yacht includes two 45 kW diesel generators that extend its total range up to 800 nautical miles, providing flexibility for longer voyages. The yacht also offers customizable interior layouts with three or four cabins, catering to private owners and luxury charters. Construction of the first Oceanwalker S60e is underway at the Fujian Sky Walker shipyard in China, with delivery expected by April 2026. The vessel’s first home will be Club Ki’ama Bahamas, an exclusive solar-powered yacht and residence club on Elizabeth Island. Club Ki’ama’s management praised the yacht as a perfect complement to their sustainable oceanfront community. Revolution Marine’s CEO Edward Sacks emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation and quality, hinting at future larger models in the Oceanwalker lineup, signaling ongoing advancements in sustainable marine technology.
